Dave Benett’s Instagram Reveals The Golden Age of Celeb Photos

London-based Dave Benett has been photographing celebrities and royalty since the eighties. While he initially stuck to news and sports when he started his career in the 1970s, Benett moved on to the highly entertaining world of the London party scene.

Benett told HELLO! that reps laid out the ground rules before giving him the go-head to snap their clients. “They said, ‘You have eight seconds to photograph them’, and that’s what we did. And they’re giggling and laughing and having a great time.”

His secret?

“Always be friendly,” Benett said. “Most of them you get to know over the years, and a relationship builds from that.”
